The next generation of Yahoo IM pron spam is getting 'better' at tricking users. It first sends you a "hello" message, then waits for a reply before sending you pron urls. Very clever, if not completely immoral.

I bought the world's biggest bar of tobelerone. It's 4.5kg (10lbs). Now that's what i call a snack.

Headline of the month: Why did you steal 40,000 hotel coat hangers, knowing that hotel coat hangers are designed to be useless outside hotel wardrobes?

I found a really handy guide to customising your bash prompt.

That is a mighty big bar of chocolate. But who's modelling and why so shy?

My old flatmate won one of them a few years ago. We all worked in the same pub and she was the best worker at New Year and got one of them. I think we threw about half of it away.

you threw it away!? why on earth would you do that!?
Posted by Sul, 14:19, 18th November 2002:
 
You spent £40 on chocolate!? Fucking hell!

My mam won one a few years ago, near xmas, we were giving blocks to family and stuff because it was far to big to eat. We tried loads of different ways to break it the beast one was, wrap it in foil or cling film then put it in a couple of plastic bags and smash it off the doorstep or hit with a hammer to break into pieces, then you have a massive plate full that will last a while if you keep it in the fridge.

Enjoy :)

what the hell is a bash prompt?
Posted by Sul, 22:26, 18th November 2002:
 
A bash prompt is a linux shell command prompt (Bourne Again SHell if I'm not mistaken) Like the MSDOS c:\>

Miles finished that Coat Hanger case here: www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=34...

It's a bit of an anti-climax though.

BASH shell is when you go to the beach with a hammer.

Posted by Grim..., 09:28, 19th November 2002:
